Chapter 40 Gambling on Stones
Gambling on stones is quite interesting.

It should be the same as gambling on stones in the previous life, but I don’t know what will come out.

Magic stone?

Certain areas rich in certain elements will give birth to special stones filled with elements such as fire, wind, thunder, and earth. Magic stones contain something similar to the magic energy in stardust, which is used to give various equipment magical functions.

Demons and humans alike are in desperate need of magic stones.

"Old sir, what are the things in these magic stones?"

Bai Le carefully sensed the stones of different shapes. His mental strength was blocked by a thin film and he had no idea what was in the stones.

"The jade seal of the country."

"The Imperial Seal was lost a long time ago. Sir, don't be fooled by the old guy. It's nothing more than some magic stones and demon remains. If you're lucky, you may get some ancient relics or even a skeleton. In short, it's all about luck. Sir, why don't you take a look at my best demon-slaying tool, which is made of the fangs of the tiger tyrant clan and is very fierce."

"It's not as powerful as the tortoise shell of my Xuanwu clan. Once the magic shield is out, hey, those monsters can only stare blankly."

"Why don't you use your knife to chop his shield and see who is stronger." Bai Le suggested.

"Sir, you are joking." The two men immediately gave in and followed Bai Le's movements, wanting to see which stone the silly young man would choose. These things were only bought for fun by rich young men who happened to pass by on a whim, and no one expected anything good to come out of them.

"50,000 yuan can only buy the square on the far right."

Following the sloppy old man's finger, Bai Le saw a square stone hidden in a corner. It was black and square, and did not look like something that had been mined.

"Hey, could this really be the Imperial Seal?"

Li Si glanced at Zhang San speechlessly and said nothing. If you use your brain, you will know how it is possible that the imperial seal that has been lost for hundreds of years can appear in a small vendor, and it is also a fraudulent old guy.

Bai Le was struggling over whether to buy it or not. Before leaving, he extorted 500,000 yuan of research funds from Professor Luo. 50,000 yuan was not a lot for him, as some precious resources could cost millions.

Then...try it? ?
It’s a pity that the teacher is in seclusion, otherwise we would definitely be able to pick out some good things from it.

"All right, fifty thousand then, old sir."

"Qi~"

"There is a fool."

Zhang San and Li Si returned to their positions, and they didn't expect that it was so easy to make money from rich people.

Bai Le returned the same way carrying a stone as big as a human head.

The moonlight was cold, and the stars tore through the night sky, shining through the cracks.

At the rest area of ​​the monster hunting team, Mu Nujiao sat alone outside the house, sparks from the campfire drifting sporadically into the night sky.

"Where have you been?"

"Gamble on stones."

Mu Nujiao looked at Bai Le with a strange look, her eyes fixed on the regular square stone in his arms.

"Hey, are you looking at the idiot?"

Mu Nujiao turned her head away without saying anything, quietly feeling the dancing of the flames.

"I'm just free, come with me to see what's inside the stone."

Mu Nujiao moved a little further away. She had heard from her elders in the family that there was a genius in their Mu family who was fond of gambling on stones. One day, an accident happened and he found something strange, and he died suddenly in just one day.

Bai Le summoned a white skeleton, and with a loud bang, the stone was smashed to pieces by the white skeleton's shield.

A white jade ring lay in the middle of the rubble, frozen by a block of ice.

Bai Le placed it next to the campfire, but after half an hour there was no sign of it melting.

"What's wrong? You look worried."

"Xu Huang hasn't come back yet." Mu Nujiao looked towards the gate.

"He must have been delayed by something. With his intermediate level cultivation, no monster can stop him." Bai Le threw the ice into the center of the fire, and it began to melt under the flames. "Let's hope so. Xu Huang is the main force of the monster hunting team, so he won't get into trouble that easily."

Half an hour later, Bai Le took out the ice from the campfire, and the flawless white jade ring was still in the ice.

"An ordinary ring."

"You try to imprint the spiritual mark." Mu Nujiao moved a little further away, her tone full of eagerness.

With the teacher's back, everything should be fine. Xinxia is still waiting for her ice cream.

After successfully imprinting the spiritual mark, Bai Le held his teacher's command spell and carefully inserted it into the consciousness ring.

???

Bai Le's expression suddenly became solemn and he walked out in a hurry.

How could it be that kind of thing?

When I got to the stall, the sloppy old man was gone as expected.

"Where did Mr. Old Gang go?"

"Sir, you've been cheated. I've warned you that it's better to buy a good magic tool. It can save your life at a critical moment. Why don't you take a look at my magic tool? I'll give you a 30% discount!"

"What's so good about a pile of broken rocks? The old man would have packed up his belongings and run away long ago after getting the money. Fifty thousand dollars is enough for him to live a carefree life for a while. Sir! Sir! Don't leave. Buy a completely new demon-slaying tool."

Bai Le disappeared in the night. Zhang San and Li Si all regretted missing the opportunity to make a fortune, which was taken away by the sloppy old guy.

······
beside the campfire,
"What's inside?" Mu Nujiao looked at Bai Le curiously. Bai Le should not have encountered a curse, so why did he look so bad? Was he deceived?

Bai Le frowned and shook his head without saying much.

Just as what the old guy said, it is indeed something similar to the imperial seal.

In the ring is a crown, a diadem.

A black, mysterious and solemn crown.

The reason why Bai Le was solemn was that the first time he saw the crown, he felt the call from deep in his blood. The throbbing in his blood told him that the owner of the crown was the person he was thinking of.

The First Emperor!

It is true that this bloodline comes from him, and it is also true that this nature is to win.

But who would know everything clearly and send him something shocking.

What is his intention?
Warn him to go to the ancient capital?

Bai Le couldn't understand why even Tang Yue, who knew everything about the awakening of his bloodline, didn't know about it.

"Go to bed early. There's no point worrying now."

Bai Le said hello to Mu Nujiao and returned to the house to rest.

Flames were surging in Mu Nujiao's bright pupils.

"Boom boom boom!"

In the early morning, the urgent knock on the door reminded Bai Le of bad memories. Touching his chest, Bai Le stood up and opened the door only after he realized it was Mu Nujiao.

"problem occurs!"

Mu Nujiao pulled Bai Le towards the territory where the Wei Fang were stationed. Mu Nujiao remained silent all the way.

When they arrived at Wei Fang's territory, Mu Nujiao took Bai Le and passed the guards at the gate.

In the simple green tent, Xu Huang, who had disappeared for a night, was unconscious, with holes all over his body. His right hand, whose fingertips were dancing with thunder, was missing at the shoulder.

"Yesterday at midnight, a patrolling magician found Xu Huang bleeding profusely at the entrance of the gathering place. The initial judgment was that he was under mental attack and the injuries on his body were caused by demons."
